Goats galore in Allie’s Barnyard, a small petting zoo inside Gatorland ~
My dear "goat expert" (2-Dog-Farm) says this one is a Lamancha cross.
Thank you for ID-ing them, Marin

Goat
Wikipedia~
The domestic goat (Capra aegagrus hircus) is a subspecies of goat domesticated from the wild goat of southwest Asia and Eastern Europe. The goat is a member of the Bovidae family and is closely related to the sheep: both are in the goat-antelope subfamily Caprinae. There are over three hundred distinct breeds of goat.
Goats are one of the oldest domesticated species. Goats have been used for their milk, meat, hair, and skins over much of the world. In the twentieth century they also gained in popularity as pets.
Female goats are referred to as does or nannies, intact males as bucks or billies; their offspring are kids. Note that many goat breeders prefer the terms "buck" and "doe" to "billy" and "nanny". Castrated males are wethers. Goat meat from younger animals is called kid or cabrito, and from older animals is sometimes called chevon, or in some areas “mutton”.

December 11, 2011, 11:15 am2-Dog-Farm says:
a zoo goat is kinda hard to ID, the brown one looks like a Lamancha cross, you can tell by it’s ears, and the white one, my best guess is a Saanen-Nubian cross, again, you can ID most goats by their ears, the Saanen’s droop down a little bit. Me? I’m just a rusty old goat…..(grin)
